Mel Bay best seller list for years --
Chromatic Harmonica Method is a comprehensive
book by noted writer and musician Phil Duncan. When used
in conjunction with the CD, it will guide even the
absolute beginner to a good standard of competence. Use
of the slide is encouraged from a very early stage, and
playing in keys other than C major is introduced in logical
order. The music selection of 60 songs increases in
complexity as you progress. They are predominantly
classical and folk/country "standards,"
ranging from "Hot Cross Buns" to
"Camptown Races" to "The Water Is Wide" to "Schubert's Unfinished Symphony." Even if
these foot-tapping tunes are not your cup of tea, know
that they are all carefully chosen to highlight a
particular technique or style. Nothing that you learn
about your chosen instrument is wasted -- playing
Tchaikovsky will help your jazz -- honest. |
